information sidebox

[ronron]

Can I remove the site map, gift certificate FAQ, discount coupon and news letter unsubscribe from the information sidebox and replace information like payment method, FAQ? I have actually done the changes for the privacy notice and shipping but not too sure about the site map, gift certificate, discount coupon and news letter unsubscribe.. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

The Discount Coupon and Gift Certificates are based on if these Order Total modules are installed or not ...

If you are not using them, you can go to the Modules ... Order Totals ... and turn off the Discount Coupons ot_coupons and the Gift Certificates ot_gv ...

To turn off the Newsletter Subscription Link go to the Configuration ... E-Mail Options ... and turn off:

Display "Newsletter Unsubscribe" Link?
Show "Newsletter Unsubscribe" link in the "Information" side-box?

The Site Map link can be turned off in the Configuration ... Define Page Status ...

Define Site Map Status
Enable the Defined Site Map Link/Text?
0= Link ON, Define Text OFF
1= Link ON, Define Text ON
2= Link OFF, Define Text ON
3= Link OFF, Define Text OFF

Thanks finally got that done. But can I create like payment method, FAQ and my account to link at the infomation side box?Thanks, thanks.

You can customize the code anyway you want by adding more links to the sidebox ...

Be sure to use your templates and overrides for customizations ...

Pardon me that I dont really get what you mean.. Can you guide me the details? Thanks, thanks..

The sideboxes are made of two files ...

For example, the Information sidebox uses the files:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php
/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_information.php

You want to use the templates and overrides by copying these files to your template and override directories:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template_dir/information.php
/includes/templates/your_template_dir/sideboxes/tpl_information.php

Then customize the files as needed ...

Add your new code for your links in the information.php ...

mmm.. have been trying hard for the guide that you given but still cant get things right. My information sidebox shows BOX_INFORMATION_PAYMENT instead of payment method and BOX_INFORMATION_FAQ instead of FAQ and it does not link to a new page. Did I miss out something?Do I need to edit the tpl_information.php?

[Ajeh]

Do you have some kind of add-on that uses:
BOX_INFORMATION_PAYMENT
BOX_INFORMATION_FAQ

[ronron]

No.. Just a need a page for the information require..
